Is the word chimera pronounced after a French origin (like chemise) or a Greek one (like chemistry)? Is the proper past tense of forbid said as for-bad or for-bade? Or should you just say forbid again? Unless you happen to be Henry Higgins himself, we can virtually guarantee that you will find proper pronunciations here that surprise you, whether it's the way everyone used to say flaccid (with cc sounding like ks, as in accident) or the mischievous extra i that inserts itself into mischiev(i)ous.
